Polar Bear Plunge!

It’s December and you can download Polar Bear Plunge to your kindle or
computer for only $1.00! Don’t wait
until January, because, although it will still be available, the price will go
up!

Polar Bear Plunge is a great
Christmas novella, written by my wonderful mentor and friend, Linda Glaz.
Here’s some information about the book and some questions her character, Aleni,
answered about Hawaii.

Striving to put meaning back into her
life after her husband’s death, Aleni Callan immerses herself in hospital work.
Angry with God, she finds herself even angrier, when hero, Brice Taylor, author
of The Human Shield, arrives in the
Emergency Room with a concussion and hypothermia after participating in the
Polar Bear Plunge. Aleni wants nothing to do with a man who willingly takes
chances with his life.

Brice doesn’t understood how God
could bring him through being a captive in Iraq, when he failed his troops so
miserably. Writing about his escape brings fame he would rather avoid. And by
meeting widow, Aleni Callan, his feelings of failure only increase.

Megan Callan with the help of her
three-year-old grandson, Ty, scheme to bring Aleni and Brice together. And
while the best laid plans often go awry, Megan isn’t one to accept no.

Aleni,
have you ever visited Hawaii?

My late husband and I honeymooned there.

What
was your favorite part?

Ooohhh, we loved seeing the pineapple fields, and I actually
tasted my first fresh pineapple from a field there. Who would have
thought?

After
the holidays, would you like to visit the islands again?

Oh, sure. Doesn't everyone want to? Maybe I can show Brice the place
where my grandfather died.

Oh
my! Tell me more.

Gramps died there and I’ve always wanted to see Pearl Harbor,
especially after hearing the stories. I guess I'd like for my son to see it
also. I don't want him to forget that his grandpa AND his daddy died preserving
our way of life in this country.

I bought my copy right away and read it immediately--what a wonderful story of faith, Christmas joy, taking that first step forward, and a bit of romance! Thanks, Linda, for sharing with my
readers!

Thanks, Deb! And you are so right about Polar Bear Plunge being a perfect read for those Christmas season nights in front of the fire. Hmm . . . it's cold out today and that hot chocolate is tempting me!

I have so been enjoying reading a variety of Christmas novellas on my kindle this year. I met Linda at ACFW this year...such a nice person! You've convinced me that I'll have as much fun "visiting" with her new book. :)

Yes, Sandra, Linda is a wonderful person. I hope you download and read her novella. It's not based in Hawaii (after all, it's a Polar Bear Plunge!) but her character, Aleni, does have a tie to the islands through Pearl Harbor, her late husband, and her grandfather. Hope you download and enjoy Linda's book!

Thanks so much for interviewing my main character, Aleni. Hopefully she filled in the cracks and let you know more about her. My family is all military as well. My husband was Navy, I was Air Force, son was Navy AND Air Force and my father-in-law, a Marine. We love our military at our house!
